Description: Eight light-green skinned figures, whose focus is a gold horned pink creature with a tail, and a small gold man on the top of his hat. Very elaborately decorated interior with tables, chairs, curtains, etc. "A black line drawing of figures in an interior setting is used in trapping eleven other colors:" tan, mint green, aqua, lime green, pink/red, blue/grey, green, light violet, dark green, gold, dark violet, and black. "[At the] center right is a Little Gold Man dancing on the head of a boy/dog like figure."
Colors used: 1. Tan, 2. Mint Green, 3. Aqua, 4. Lime Green, 5. Pink/Red, 6. Blue/Gray, 7. Green, 8. Light Violet, 9. Dark Green, 10. Gold, 11. Dark Violet, 12. Black. "The image/artwork for this print was spcifically designed for the Atelier 15 program. The original drawing was created directly onto the acetate with and inked bruch and technical pen. Through a series of overlappng and underlapping the positive/acetate for each color, I continued to build texture and detail. The LITTLE GOLD MAN himself is the focal point of the other figures in th epiece but at the same time is only on of the many figures invovled in this print. As in all the other pints I have created thorugh the Atelier program I have attempted to work on an image using a new technique that is very different from my other prints." D.Gamboa.
